WAM! is an independent national nonprofit dedicated to building a robust, effective, inclusive movement for gender justice in media by:

Convening media-makers, activists, academics, philanthropists, and everyone else who has a stake in achieving gender justice in media, in order to help these groups find common cause with each other.

Incubating new ideas for actionable social change that moves the media conversation forward.

Creating a glocal network of allies working to transform our current media'ÂÂÂÂÂs twisted and inadequate portrayals of women and other oppressed groups into a media ecosystem that truly represents our lives and stories.

Removing the barriers to media access, production, employment and ownership that often keep women and other oppressed groups on the sidelines of our public conversations, and giving these same people the space and tools to create their own success.

Challenging ourselves and each other to heal the differences, oppressions and painful histories that too often prevent us from working together for mutual justice.
